Hi all, I have loads of old models from the original epic box sets, plus stuff from Titain legions etc. Is it Ok to use the square based troop models? |

Welcome to the boards! Yup, no problems at all. In fact I believe a few of the new models willl be on square bases (the IG heavy weapons teams) You are pretty much free to base any way you like as long as the base is no bigger than 4 cm on any side and no shorter than 0.5 cm on any side - but at least 2 cm on one side. As an example you could have bases 0.5x2 cm or 4x4 cm or a round base 2 cm in diameter. Cheers

I seriously doubt it. I use 3/4" craft sticks, that I cut into squares (tin snips cut them like paper). |

You can used whatever bases or models you want, it makes no difference. ?Jervis even mentions that in the early E:A downloads. I've been playing Epic since SM1 in '90 and most of my infantry are on square bases. ?So as I said it makes no difference. ?However, the square bases are no longer available from G/W MO, but occasionally they show up on Ebay, Bartertown, etc. I have some I'm keeping in reserve ! ?The same goes for models, in some case Jervis gives stats and in others he says "use as" ... for example a Gorgon Mk.2 or 3 can be used as a Chimera, etc., etc. ? Everything old can be used ... ? ?

Hi! For those who like square bases (like I do) an easy outlet is to buy GW fantasy 20mm bases. The ones you use for rank and file troops in that game. They are the same size and with a little flock will look indistinguishable from the standard ones. Primarch |

Or buy Warmaster bases and chop them in half. :-) That might be a bit of a pain though As an added bonus you can use the Warmaster bases for troops like Bikes, Boarboyz etc. I've even based my latest unit of Terminators on the Warmaster bases. |

Hi! Thats a good idea regarding the Warmaster bases, I have a few I dont use at least they'll be put to good use. Seriously though using them as you suggest for bike, cyboars and similar units is a good idea. Primarch |

I've also found metal bases in the hobby shops for about the same prices as GWs plastic ones, and you can buy them in a wider variety of sizes. |

Just got the New W/D in the mail!!! Issue 292!!! ? Two pages in front lists upcoming May US G/W E:A releases! Some nice pics. Many are, as we know, re-released E40K (or earlier), but of course there is a lot of new stuff for us "old timers"... especially SM, as well as some new IG and Ork. ? Plus there are 4 pages in the middle of the mag with more pics, but mostly E-40K models. Very nicely done, an IG Force in Panzer Grey! ? Someone has been reading my e-mails... looks a lot like my IG! ? Well I'll be ordering all the new stuff including a rule book or two, in May. And of course, I'll contact my usual cohorts, with my extras to sell. ? Good news for us in the Colonies of the New World!
